With Parka as their mascot, and the Xplorer program to get children interested in historic sites, they are hoping to build genuine interest for […]
Valentine’s Day – a day of hearts and flowers, right? That sounds about right, until you have a tween. When children get to a certain age, sharing mushy valentines starts to be uncool. My 7 year old still doesn’t care what kind of valentines she makes for her schoolmates, but I’ve noticed my 10 year […]
